Holiday Shops at Bryant Park

The park’s tree-lined paths are transformed into a fabulous holiday shopping destination with custom-designed jewel box kiosks. The vendors are some really wonderful craft people and if you are in this area, I would highly suggest you drop by and do some unique Christmas shopping. I love the fact they have heated little shops that you can pop in to do your shopping and get out of the cold December weather. I will be featuring some of the lovely shops in posts the month of December, but here are a few just to give you a quick look:

United Leather was one of the first shops we saw and their items were gorgeous! Great colors of leather handbags at really wonderful prices. I really wished I had needed a new one, but that wasn't the case!!

Now you know if Nutella is near me, I will find it! This stand was very busy and I can understand why!!

Did I say there was an animal lover stand? My assistant went crazy for these and did purchase a cat clock for her son and daughter-in-law...........

Bryant Park is just so quaint and lovely any time of year, but during the holidays, a bit extra special.

Views...views...views....they are always amazing when in New York City.......

Another great view of the shops....also there is quite a bit of seating here and tables if you have a bite to eat or a sip of cocoa........

Speaking of cocoa, please stop by this stand....No Chewing Allowed.....you will thank me....oh, okay I will just say Your Welcome now ......

Of course, Christmas ornaments are available for purchase as they make great gifts for friends & family.

How pretty is this at night with the lovely tree and skating rink? The tree lighting ceremony is November 29thfrom 7 to 8pm, if you happen to be in the city. This photo and one below is from the Bryant Park website.

Oh, I LOVE those shops! Walking through the shops was always one of my favorite holiday activities in the city. I miss it so much! Plus, you are right about those No Chewing Allowed truffles. They may be the best chocolate I've ever had in my life! Pure decadence!
